Lo! He Cometh
Author: W. I. Varner Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: The night at last is ended Refrain First Line: Behold, behold Lyrics:
1 The night at last is ended,
The dawn before us breaking;
Behold the streaks of silver,
The daylight is at hand.
O wake ye worn and weary
To glory great awaking;
The star of morn is rising,
O’er all the heavens grand.
Refrain:
Behold, behold,
To all of Christendom,
Behold, behold,
The Bridegroom lo, is come.
The trumpet loud appalling,
With bright archangels calling,
Be ready—are you ready?
The Bridegroom lo, has come.
2 The King in beauty cometh,
With trumpets loudly sounding,
Make ready bridal torches,
And brightly let them burn.
Make ready all ye sainted,
Ye hearts with rapture bounding;
Remember, O remember,
The Savior would return. [Refrain]
3 Behold, the Bridegroom cometh,
Your lamps have trimmed and lighted;
Our Jesus Lord and Master,
Your eyes you scarce believe.
He cometh, O He cometh,
But do not be affrighted,
Rejoicing and with shouting,
The Savior we receive. [Refrain]

But give me the dear Holy Bible,
A guide that will ne’er lead astray.

The Word of our God tried and true;

Whose precepts brought comfort and cheer,
The Gospel that living or dying,
Brings God and His Heaven so near. [Refrain]

Thro’ ages it still is the same,
A message of perfect salvation,
To all who believe in His name. [Refrain]

The Noble Calling
Author: Grace Melbourne Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Onward, brother, nobly onward Lyrics:
1 Onward, brother, nobly onward,
Swell the ranks of truth and right;
Let your light be grand and glorious,
For the cause of justice fight;
Shrink not from the field of labor,
Farthest from the path of fame;
Look not forward to the hour
When a nation speaks your name.
2 Gently raise a fallen brother,
Jesus’ lost and weary sheep;
And remembering His example,
Lead them up the mountains steep;
Just across the mystic river,
In that pure and sinless land,
Angel bands applaud your work,
And will lend a helping hand.
3 To direct your footsteps ever,
Higher up the mountain side,
Nearer to the happy mansions,
Just across the flowing tide;
When the souls are united,
And the pain of life has fled,
Oh! what joy to see some soul,
That your words have homeward led.
4 Or to hear the gentle blessing,
Of a trusting little child,
That your hands have gently guided
To the Savior undefiled;
Onward, brother, nobly onward,
Swell the ranks of truth and right;
May your life be grand and glorious,
And your crown with stars be bright.

My Home In Heaven
Author: M. M. Bain Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Although to me no quiet home Lyrics:
1 Although to me no quiet home
In this world may be giv’n,
So sweetly still the whispers come,
I have a home in Heav’n;
A home for me was purchased there
With Christ’s own precious blood,
That I with Him its bliss might share
Forever with my God.
2 And if forever with my God
My raptured soul shall be,
When o’er this weary path I’ve trod,
What are its toils to me?
No more I’ll grieve at present pain,
But onward urge my way,
Until the heav’nly bliss I gain,
Which lasts thro’ endless day.
3 Though weary oft and much oppressed,
Because of trials sore,
I’ll on His blessèd promise rest,
Till trials are no more,
And when eternal years have fled,
Still all my song shall be,
To Him who for my ransom bled,
To Him who died for me.

Look down to guard my way?

As His "at that great day"? [Refrain]

The World Above
Author: C. Hartley Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: The world above is not like this Refrain First Line: The world above is not like this Lyrics:
1 The world above is not like this,
So dark, so sad and drear;
Oh no, for there the years of bliss
Roll on without a tear!
No gloom, no night, nor cloud of grief
Can ever cast a shade
Across those sunny plains of peace
In light and love arrayed!
Refrain:
The world above is not like this,
So dark, so sad, and drear;
Oh no, for there the years of bliss
Roll on without a tear!
2 The world above is not like this,
No parting tears are shed,
Nor sweet affection’s lingering kiss,
Bestowed upon the dead;
There severed hearts unite again,
In love around the throne,
And far beyond this world of pain
Take up their crown and home! [Refrain]
3 Oh for a harp in that bright world,
Far from the tears of this;
Here death’s black banners are unfurled
To shade each hour of bliss;
But there each spirit-harp will thrill
With music’s endless tones,
And Jesus’ smile forever fill
With light our angel homes. [Refrain]

And the weary are at rest.”

When the dream of life is o’er.

Long since passèd away,
From earth and earthly trials,
To Heav’n’s eternal day.

Over on the other shore;
And they’ll all be there to greet us
When the dream of life is o’er.

Where Christ will meet us on the strand,
Where friends will take us by the hand.

And spring abides forever.

Where spring abides forever,
Nor longer from our Father stray,
For blessèd Jesus leads the way.

Where flows the beautiful river,
For blessèd Jesus leads the way,
To joy and bliss forever.
